Since landing in Russia wearing a peach coat and dress, Michelle Obama has returned to her Fourth of July style by keeping things classic in black and white!

The First Lady wore a simple white twinset and black trousers while touring the Gorki, outside of Moscow, on a Presidential double date with hubby/President and Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev and First Lady Svetlana Medvedev yesterday (July 6).

Not one to leave an outfit under accessorized, MO punched up her basic separates with a multi-strand necklace by Fenton. The beautiful statement piece, made of silver, crystals and glass features vintage coins and was designed by Fenton's Dana Lorenz. It's available at Mrs. O's go-to store, Ikram in Chicago.

Today, Mrs. O opted for a black and white Jason Wu shift dress (July 7) to spend time with Svetlana, also dressed in black and white. (Guess matching first ladies isn't reserved for France!)

Michelle first wore the dress for a Barbara Walter's interview last November.

This time, Mrs. O paired the look with a black flower brooch and black peep-toe heels.

The First Ladies chatted on the beautiful settees in the Kremlin and later visited the Nemirovich-Danchenko Academic Musical Theatre with Malia and Sasha in tow.

Michelle also visited the St. Dmitry nurse training college and St. Dmitry Primary School where many of the children are orphans. All in a First Lady's day's work!
